Iran Deplores Abuse of Human Rights amid Ukraine War
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The foreign minister of Iran described the developments concerning the war in Ukraine as an indication that certain Western powers take advantage of human rights to attain their political purposes.
In a meeting with his Venezuelan counterpart Yvan Gil Pinto, held in Caracas on Friday, Hossein Amirabdollahian said the eruption of war in Ukraine and the subsequent developments revealed that certain powers utilize human rights as a mere tool against other nations.
